The Kenyatta Family is reaping big from their stock at NCBA Group.
The family’s stake in the financial services holding company increased in value by KSh 358.9 million since the close of trading on Wednesday, May 4.
The increase in value of the family’s stake in the last six days was due to a rebound in the group’s share price.

Shares have risen from KSh 23.85 on May 4 to KSh 25.5.
This represents a 6.9-percent return for shareholders and thus the KSh 358.9 million for the Kenyatta Family.
